The end of the work week is here, but before we go we want to test your knowledge of artists we’ve talked about over the last few weeks and months. As you know, not every artist is born with a great rock name. Some artists feel the need to change their name so it’s got a better sound to it. For instance, did you know that Kirk Douglass was born Issur Danielovitch? Amazing!
With that being said, we want you to try to match the birth name of your favorite rocker with the name we know them by…
1.) Elton John
2.) Gene Simmons
3.) Pat Benatar
4.) Patsy Cline
5.) Eric Clapton
6.) Huey Lewis
7.) Meat Loaf
8.) David Bowie
9.) Rick Derringer
A. Marvin Lee Aday
B.) Eric Patrick Clapp
C.) Hugh Anthony Cregg
D.) Richard Zehringer
E.) Patricia Mae Andrzejewski
F.) David Robert Stenton Jones
G.) Reginald Kenneth Dwight
H.) Chaim Witz
I.) Virginia Patterson Hensley
1.(G) 2.(H) 3.(E) 4.(I) 5.(B) 6.(C) 7.( A) 8.( F) 9.(D)
